It looks like one of Richmond’s longtime dessert shops has quietly hit pause.
A Noms Mag community member (@lchan.eats) spotted a notice taped to the door of Milkcow Richmond that reads: “Milkcow Café (Richmond location) will be in a reset time. We are looking for a new location. Thank you for your support!”
The shop’s interior now sits dark, and there has been no formal announcement on their Instagram, website, or Google listing.
Milkcow, founded in South Korea in 2014, quickly grew into a global dessert chain with more than 50 branches across countries like the United States, Australia, Mexico, and the UAE.
When Richmond’s outpost opened in 2018, it became the chain’s first Canadian location and was run as a family-owned franchise.
The spot became known for its organic milk soft serve topped with playful add-ons, but their menu went far beyond that.
Locals loved their matcha and ube croffles, the seasonal watermelon ice cream sandwich, and specialty drinks.
It became a go-to summer stop for those chasing quirky, Instagram-worthy desserts.
Now, with their Richmond doors shut and no timeline confirmed for a new space, the community is left waiting to see if Milkcow will find another home.
For now, this pause adds to the growing list of quiet changes in Richmond’s dessert scene.
